Nicola,
We have a specific internal blog for cataloguing policies and the kind of things that used to get emailed round to cataloguing staff (changes to LCSH, MARC fields or new policies etc). We found that by posting to a blog, we had a searchable archive of this information so that, instead of searching through emails from 2 years ago because you *know* you'd seen a message about fixed field coding for online resources, you can search the blog either using the search function or the tags. It's quite useful as a backup, since previous emails were not archived anywhere centrally and relied on each individual cataloguer storing a copy.
This serves as an addition to all our cataloguing documentation, most of which is in the form of web pages on the intranet.
